So, he's the compilation of the table, minus Moloch who will probably be dead in a few hours, by series claimed.
Lord of the Rings 8
Wheel of Time 6
Twilight 4
Eragon 3
Harry Potter 3
Star Wars 3
Fifth Sorceress 1
Othello 1
Hamlet 1
Macbeth 1
Golden Compass 1
A Song of Ice and Fire 1
Mistborn 1
Name of the Wind 1
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 1
I was going to suggest tossing away any that have only 1 behind them, but all of Gher's (Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth) only have 1. We really don't know if each setting has more than one person, and while the largest samples are LotR and WoT, that doesn't mean too much in itself, since on this site, those two are the most blatant obvious random choices too. We could easily have two or three from each of those settings and the rest pciked those names out of the top of the proverbial hat.
Anyway, I'm inclined to think pressing people who picked a series no one else did might not be a bad idea, though I'm not sure where it will take us. If I were a DF, and a later submission, I'd have picked one of the larger pools. Basicaly though, everyone had to make up either two or three series, so I'm not sure there's anything surprising about the results.
